Yes, I even edited my post to add more context. He was referring to THIS forum HERE ON SA as the "chaos engine". NOT that "dead" forum. Not sure where he got the "industry only" part from. But if you go to the chaosengine.com, there isn't a SINGLE thing about this Star Citizen hilarity there.

First, welcome aboard. Second, please take part in the “I’ve Arrived” thread in this forum. At the top of the thread you’ll see a poll listing the most prominent geographic areas for the games industry. This is a repeated topic of interest for our members, so we’ve made the poll permanent. Vote for the geographic region where you work. Feel free to also make a post in this thread announcing your membership. We ask that you at least make one post here; even it’s just a single letter. After that, if you simply want to ‘lurk’ that’s fine by us

If you have time, we also ask that every new member clicks on ‘Company Database’ at the top of the page, (another private membership feature). Type in your company’s name and make sure there is an existing record. If there isn’t, then add one. This is incredibly useful for members looking for new jobs, or researching companies by country/region etc. Please help us keep the database up to date.

There are three forum sections on the index page, The Games Industry, Announcements and Private Forums. All forums except for Private Forums are open and viewable by public members. Anything posted in the Private Forums can only be read by other private members.

As you probably already know we restrict our membership for your benefit. We don’t allow management so you may speak openly without the fear of reprisal, we don’t allow recruiters/HR so you aren’t spammed for jobs you don’t want, the public so we’re troll free, marketing so the forums aren’t spammed and journalists so nothing you post will be re-printed or made public.

Please note that we do have a few members from the above fields on TCE. When we first started, we were less strict with our rules and let some people onboard in the interests of diversity. We also have some early members from the Fatbabies forum who were longtime members known to us and are utterly trustworthy. If you have a problem with any of our membership, see ‘Membership Complaints’ below.

Membership also entitles you to ‘vouch’ for additional members, please read the Vouching FAQ in this forum for more information.

Anonymity is assured on TCE. We do not keep a record of email addresses, or make your name or address public to anyone else. Some members have joined with their real name, and still others put their real name/job title in their signatures. For most of our membership however they wish to remain anonymous and we respect their right of privacy. If you know someone’s identity on TCE, even if they’re a friend, posting any information on the forums that threatens their anonymity will get you banned. Please respect others privacy and don’t ask any of the mods/admin for names, titles, email, or IP addresses; we don’t give them out.

Who were you on mmorpg? All the names are a blur except for the sociopath Erillion. When the game fails I'm going to PM him a picture of my dick.

there's a private forum though, and they have a vetting process for everyone who gets access to it. Its real Derek.

I'm Pratt2112 there as well, the person whose forum post Derek copy/pasted here, and then someone else after him.

I don't post there much, so if you blink, you'll miss me.

And agreed about Erillion. Oy.

Present!

Saw a post on Derek's FB page with a screencap of it, had a surreal moment of thinking "I've read that somewhere before", and then realized it was me.

Pretty trippy when that happens.

I don't even spend much time at mmorpg.com anymore. When I do go there, I inevitably run into the idiocy that floods the SC forums, and it drives me nuts. Erillion, in particular... holy crap. If SC fans are the Scientologists of gaming, then Erillion is Tom Cruise.

All we need is Tom Cruise jumping on a couch, shooting jpeg ships at Oprah, and the picture will be complete.

Now that I think about it, can someone do that? That would be pretty amazing.

(Edited, 'cause my Tom Cruise scenario didn't really make sense and I'm slightly OCD lol.)

I'm the r/dereksmart lurker who now has to decide between making fun of Derek for getting this wrong or acknowledging that a forum full of insiders making fun of CIG constantly is real.

They're almost as bad as SC fanatics. Almost.

Though maybe they've calmed down with time.
